ADSL - If you think of the connection you buy from your Broadband whoever-ink, as the ADSL. DSL - From your tele socket, you need a splitter, that you can poke 2 cables into: 1 for your phone, and one to go INTO THE ROUTER (this is an dsl cable). The router (as the name suggests routes your internet traffic from differnet PC's at your site or home. via radio or network cable). You may need to set your router up, details are supplied with your broadband package. You are given one IP (a number computer number to talk in the world of networks) address (for this reason you can generally only have one router). Your router then hands out its own IP addresses to your networked printers, pc's, cctv. also generally on a DHCP. (dynamic host - so your IP number can change if its nabbed by something else, or runs out). BADMAN

Asymmetric DSL (ADSL) uses one upload speed from the consumer to an ISP and a faster download speed. SymmetricDSL (SDSL) uses equal bandwidths in both directions.

What is the difference between DSL and ADSL?

ADSL is simply a version or 'flavour' of DSL. The 'a' refers to asymmetric, meaning 'not the same'. Hence, ADSL usually has different downstream and upstream rates (e.g. 1536/256 is a common speed of ADSL available in Australia, where downstream the link speed is 1536kbps and upstream is 256kbps).


Exactly What An ADSL Modem Wireless Router Does?

When talking about an ADSL modem wireless router, the acronym stands for asynchronous digital subscriber line. The DSL portion of the router name denotes that it accepts connections from a DSL line. When the router is specified as being asynchronous, it refers to the differences in the speed of uploads and downloads. ADSL routers generally download much faster than they send information, sometimes as much as 10 or 20 times faster. This only becomes an issue for applications such as video conferencing or playing online games, where upload speeds are important for a smooth experience.
